Okay for what it is.

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 2, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Nice Tee Signs.
- Plenty of opportunity for safari holes?
- Large multi-use park.

Cons:

- Lots of litter throughout the course.
- Dirt tee pads, marked with a board.
- Most of the holes play near walking paths.
- Not a whole lot of variety.

Other Thoughts:

Overall wasn't the worst course I have ever played. It's good for a "need to waste an hour or two" type of day. Could possibly be a great course if redesigned.

Boring and neglected 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 24, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The park itself is quite nice with a nice view on the river Rhein right next to it.
Additional tees can be found in the downloadable course map, with 6 more holes.
You can park right next to the park for free.

Cons:

The course is in bad condition with its rusty baskets and damaged/missing teesigns.
Sadly many fairways run across walkways and past benches.
The layout was totally boring as the course is set up in the most unvaried part of the park.

There was a lot of traffic and sadly many dogs.
Piles everywhere and it wasnt very clean generally.
The tees were just worn spots on the grass while the additional ones were not marked or visible at all.

Other Thoughts:

Definitely not recommendable!
I dont understand why the course is set up in this area of the park whereas the rest of it seemed pretty useful.
The equipment was quite worn and unattended.
Don't waste your time here as "Ostpark" in Rüsselsheim is a very good course and just 15 min away (by car).

Ouch. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 2, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

- I am proud to say that this course officially has the title of "worst course I have ever played".
- There's a nice big sign that has a map and rules of the course at the beginning.

Cons:

This course is disrespectful to the sport of disc golf. When I tried to play here today, it was overcrowded to the point that all but 2 of the baskets were unplayable. There were people picnic-ing right by #2 and they used the basket as a holder for their trash bags.

Baskets 5 and 6 were in a fenced off construction zone and basket 6 was literally ripped out of the ground and laying there.

The baskets were in terrible condition and very brown and rusty. The tee signs were very vandalized and difficult to read.

It really felt like someone came out here, built this course as fast as possible and said "Good luck, bitches!" and left. There's absolutely no noticeable disc golf community that takes care of this course. It's such a shame too, because it's only 15 or so minutes away from the Rüsselsheim course, which literally had 15 or so groups playing at the time I was there and is noticeably taken care of.

Other Thoughts:

I was a little sad when I came here. I don't think that a disc golf course should have been installed here. The park is way too used and there's no community to maintain it. I'll try to get some pictures up later to show you what I mean.

I'd also like to note that if the course looked like what is in the pictures in the media section, I would have no problem giving it a 2.0, but the reality is those pictures are pretty old and the course has gone downhill since then...

Don't come out here...just go straight to Rüsselsheim unless you're like me who plays the course knowing that it's going to be a complete let down. ;)

Pros:

Short park course, rarely used, and nice spot next to the river in Mainz. Nice cafe in park and slight difficulty on some holes

Cons:

Only 6 holes, park tends to play short, I remember only one long hole. Soccer can get in the way of a couple holes.

Other Thoughts:

cool little course in the middle of the city

There are a few baskets (6 total) to throw at. Its better than nothing...

They need someone to redesign this course
